Hi,

if you give value then it would apply only on list

to make it work on form do this

create onLoad client script

function onLoad() {

var control = g_form.getControl('status');

var status = g_form.getValue('status');

if(status.toString() == 'true'){

control.style.color = 'blue'; // to set the color of field

control.style.backgroundColor = "red";   // to set the background color

}

}

In Forms, it actually only sets the background color when it's not an interactive field. That means..
If you set the target field to "read only" your configured field style would work in forms too.

If it needs to be editable. Then there is only the way via client script.
